CLARION CAMPUS
Now well into its second century of service to the people of
Pennsylvania, Clarion University has successively been Carrier
Seminary, a state normal school, a state teacher's college, a state
college, and beginning July 1, 1983, a University, Each phase of this
development has marked a stage in the continuing effort of the
institution to respond to the educational needs and aspirations of
increasing numbers of students.
Today, Clarion University Is a multi-purpose institution with an
enrollment of approximately 6000 students offering associate degrees in
three areas; sixty-seven baccalaureate programs leading to the Bachelor
of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelor of
Science in Nursing; and eleven graduate programs leading to the Master
of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education, Master
of Science, and Master of Science in Library Science.
The main campus of the University contains ninety-nine acres and
forty-three buildings, the majority of which were constructed within the
past twenty years. Beyond the main campus, situated at the west end of
the town of Clarion, is a 27-acre athletic complex with football, baseball
and practice fields and Memorial Stadium, seating5,000 spectators. The
university is within the Borough of Clarion some two miles north of
Interstate 80 at Exits 9 and 10 and is approximately two and one half
hours driving time from the urban centers of Pittsburgh, Erie, and
Youngstown. High on the Allegheny Plateau overlooking the Clarion
River, the rural setting is in the midst of one of Pennsylvania's most
scenic resort areas. The rolling wooded countryside, interspersed with
small farms, affords some of the most enjoyable outdooractivities to be
found anywhere in northwestern Pennsylvania, and the Clarion River
provides an excellent setting for summer boating, swimming, and
aquatic sports. Clarion also administers the Ivan McKeever
Environmental Educational Center in Mercer County, with modern
building facilities in the midst of a two hundred acre wooded area near
Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania.
Among facilities supporting programs at Clarion University are
Carlson Library housed in a modern library building with a large and
continually growing collection, the George R. Lewis Computer Center

equipment, several microcomputer laboratories, a planetarium, modern
science laboratories having excellent instrumentation, well equipped
support areas for special education and speech pathology and
audiology, a modern business administration building, technologically
equipped classrooms for library science, radio and television studios
and experimental audio-visual facilities in the College of
Communication, and a writing center, tutorial services, and acounseling
center to assist students who can benefit from these services.

the faculty is charged with the responsibility of assisting students to
select and achieve goals consistent with the ideals of a university
community.
STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
UNIVERSITY-SUPERVISED HOUSING —
RESIDENCE HALLS
The University Housing Policy states, "The University considers the
residential experience to be an important part of a student'seducational
program. Housing space will be distributed in proportion to thedemand
by class with special consideration given a student upon
recommendation by either the Student Affairs Staff. Health Center or
Counseling Staff."
Within each residence hall, there is a cross-section of students
representing most aspects of a highly divergent student body, and the
housing assignments are made without regard to race, religion, color,
ancestry, or national origin. Hall and roommate preferences stated on
housing applications are given consideration in making assignments
and are honored whenever possible.
The agreement for assignment to residence halls is for an entire
semester unless otherwise specified. The only groundsforan automatic
release from the agreement are withdrawal from the University or a
change in student teaching or internship assignment.
Housing and food service fees are payable at the same time that other
University fees become due. Refunds cannot be made unless the student
withdraws from the University or is granted an agreement release. The
amount refunded for housing fees is listed in the "Refunds" section of
this catalog. Food service fee refunds are governed by a prorated
schedule available in the Business Office.
12
A separate housing and food service application must be submitted for
each year. All students returning to residence halls must submit a
housing application card at the announced time. Housing information
and applications will be mailed to new students prior to registration.
After a room assignment is made, the student will be issued agreements
to be signed and returned with a non-refundable deposit.
Housing and food services are provided only on a combined basis for
students living in the residence halls. Housing and food service
agreements may not be transferred or assigned. The meal ticket may be
used only by the student to whom it is issued, and a room may be
occupied only by the student to whom it is assigned.
Student rooms in the residence halls are furnished with beds, desks,
chairs, dressers and closets. Students should plan to furnish pillows,
blankets, linen, bed spreads, desk lamps, and small throw rugs. Radios
and record players are permitted if they are operated with due
consideration for others. Contract linen service is available.
Students are not permitted to keep firearms or weapons in their
campus living quarters. The Department of Public Safety will store these
articles for students. Students are free to check stored items in and out of
the Department of Public Safety at their discretion.
OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
Students not residing in University-supervised housing live in
fraternity houses, rental facilities in the community, or at their own
homes. The Housing Office maintains a limited listing of available
housing in the community. Householders listing available facilities must
comply with all local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to rental
units. Other sources of information are local newspapers and realtors.
All arrangements for housing in the community are a business
arrangement between the student and the householder. The University
does not approve or make recommendations to private, off-campus
housing accommodations.

Wholesome, well-balanced mealsare provided in Chandlerand Forest
Manor Dining Halls by a reputable food service company All students
living in residence halls are required to contract for the full board meal

at Chandler Hall on a semester basis.

STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service is located in the Edward J. Keeling Health
Services Center. The Health Service provides general health care to
enrolled students. The Center is staffed by registered nurses 24 hours
per day. seven days a week. A physician and nurse practitionermaintain
regular clinic hours and are available on call during nights and
weekends. House calls are not made by Health Services staff. Except for
emergencies as determined by University staff, transportation to and
from the Health Services or local hospital must be provided by the
student.
In addition to the treatment of illnesses and injuries, routine physical
examinations, information counseling, and some immunizations and
allergy injections are available at the Health Services. Many commonly
used medications are provided at no additional charge. Medications
which are prescribed from a pharmacy, however, must be purchased by
the student. Medical equipment such as crutches, canes, slings, braces,
etc. are available and may be loaned to students.
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE
The Health Center fee which students are assessed applies only to
treatment and services at Keeling Health Center. Diagnosis, treatment,
services or facilities not available at the Health Center, but required due
to an illness or accident, are the financial responsibility of the student.
These would include: but are not limited to, x-rays, ambulance,
emergency room treatment, setting and casting breaks, and
hospitalizations. Without insurance, the cost involved could jeopardize a
student's ability to continue his/her education.
The University has negotiated a group accident^sickness insurance
plan which is available to Clarion University students. The plan insures
the student for an entire year and covers illness or accident when they
may occur. Students. who have other insurance coverage may have no
need for this plan. Students without coverage should seriously consider
the purchase of this policy.
COUNSELING AND CAREER PLANNING CENTER
Center staff provides professional services related to developmental,
14
educational, and vocational goals as well as to problems of personal,
social, and emotional adjustment. The services of the Center are
available without charge to all regularly enrolled Clarion University
students
Most students request counseling on their own initiative. Some,
however, need encouragement from others to seek counseling
assistance. These students may be referred by instructors, academic
advisors, residence hall staff, administrators, parents, orfellow students.
Those seeking counseling services a re not just the marginal or immature
students: frequently the exceptionally able and the conscientious
students require the benefit of professional help in the counseling
setting.
In keeping with accepted professional practice, counseling contracts
with students are strictly confidential. No information is released to
officers of the administration, faculty member, parents, graduate
schools, governmental officials, or other outside agencies without the
student's written authorization in advance. Rareexceptionsto theabove
policy may occur when, in the counselor's professional opinion, there is
a clear, immediate threat to the life or welfare of the student himself, or
other students, or the community at large.
CAREER PLACEMENT SERVICES
The Officeof Career Placement Services, located in Wilshire House on
Wood Street, offers a variety of services to all future and former
graduates of Clarion University. Individuals seeking career information
and assistance in obtaining entry-level and more responsible positions
are invited to visit the office and use the available resources.
All individuals with placement needs — juniors looking for summer
employment or internships: seniors preparing resumes and credentials,
interviewing, feeling anxious about getting a job, or thinking about
graduate school: alumni wanting to change jobs or careers — are
encouraged to discuss their concerns with a member of the staff.
Graduating students and alumni are urged to maintain contact with the
office as a means of facilitating entry into the job market.
Some of the specific services and programs offered include the
following:
Credentials. Students nearing completion of their degree programs
are encouraged to register with the office by establishing a credential
file. A $10.00 placement fee is charged.

organizations -- businesses, corporations, social service agencies,
school districts, and government — visit the campus during fall and
spring semesters to interview graduating students for permanent
employment positions.

15
vacancies received from 1) education and 2) business, industry and
government.

are available to offer individual assistance to students with career and

which includes information on specific employers, graduate and
professional schools, governmentcareeropportunitiesand materialson
resume preparation, interviewing skills and job search strategies. A
variety of free career-related publications and handouts are available.
PARKING AND AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS
All provisions of the Vehicle Code of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania as supplemented by parking regulations issued by the
Chancellor, State System of Higher Education and Clarion University
will be strictly enforced on the Clarion University Campus. Authority for
such enforcement rests with the Director of Public Safety. Persons
failing to pay fines will be reported to the District Magistrate and upon
conviction will be subject to penalties provided by law.
All persons who possess, maintain, or operate a motor vehicle on
campus are required to register such vehicle with the Department of
Public Safety. Registering a vehicle does notguaranteea parking space.
1. Persons qualifying for campus parking privileges will be issued a
decal indicating that this privilege has been granted and will be
assigned to a specific parking area.
2. Any person acquiring the use of a motor vehicle after the regular
registation period who intends to operate the vehicle on campus
must register the vehicle within twenty-four hours with the Office of
the Director of Public Safety. Motor vehicles must be registered even
when their use is intermittent rather than regular.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Student activities at Clarion are viewed as another means of self-
development. Therefore, the responsibility for the success of any activity
or organization must rest with the students involved and ample
opportunity exists for gaining experience in leadership and self-
government.
16
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Through participation in student government, students have an
opportunity to gain experience in democratic living and self-
government. All students become members of the Clarion Students
Association upon payment of the CSA activity fee and, thereby, are
eligible to participate in the election of the Student Senate, the
governing body of the Association. The Student Senate is responsible
for expenditure of student activity fees through allocationsto the various
activities and organizations. The Senate has an important relationship to
other Association operations such asthe University Book Centerand the
Student Centers. It also appoints student representatives to various
standing committees of the university.
Other opportunities for self-government are provided through the
governing boards of the Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council,
University Center Board, Inter-Hall Council, and residence hall councils.
The full utilization of this leadership is a very necessary element of
success in any college or university and the maximum development of
the leadership potential of each student must be considered an
important part of the educational process. It isa well established fact that
even though a university may have an excellent faculty and physical
plant, it cannot attain true excellence unless it also has a capable and
energetic student body able and willing to accept the responsibilities
inherent in leadership.
ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
The purpose of an extensive and varied activities program on campus
is to make the University experience richer and more enjoyable. Clarion
is fortunate to have a wide variety of activities available to its students.
Many of the major cultural and entertainment functions are sponsored
by comittees of the University Center Board with student activity fees
allocated to it by Student Senate. Examples of such programs are
Homecoming Weekend, coffeehouses, campus movies. Miss C.U.P.
Pageant, pop concerts, and special performances by noted orchestras,
drama groups, speakers, etc. The Black Arts Festival, intercollegiate
athletics, and music and drama performances by CUP students and staff
areimportant parts of the total activities program. Honoraries, clubs, and
special interest groups further round out this program with speakers,
movies, and service projects on and off campus.
Although many of these activities take place in Chandler Dining Hall,
the Chapel, Marwick-Boyd Auditorium, and Tippin Gym, the two basic
17
facilities for students are Harvey Hall and Reimer Center. Harvey Hall
provides a meeting/vending area, offices for various student
organizations; and a nnulti-purpose area available for a variety of
functions. Reimer Center provides a snack area with adjoining
coffeehouse, TV lounge, conference room, games area, listening room.
Center Board Office, ticket office, office of the Director of University
Centers, and the Student Activities Office.
The following professional organizations and special interest groups
are active on campus. Information on athletics, musical groups, speech
activities, media organizations, and Greeks is included later in this

guidance director, or other school official acquainted with the
student.
3. Health and physical vigor: Clarion University subscribes to and
supports in letter and spirit Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973 (Public Law 93-112), which prohibits discrimination on the
basisof handicap. Therefore, the roleof Admissions in application of
this criterion is to be aware of the institutional obligation under
Section 504 and to help the applicant understand that the university
wishes to support his/her efforts to meet the requirements of a
program he/she chooses. In instances in which a student has a
handicap which would render success in a chosen field unlikely, the
matter should be brought to the attention of the Director who will
alert the appropriate dean so that reasonable counseling may be
used. Specific questions related to this criterion should be referred
to the Director.
4. Request the College Entrance Examination Board of the American
College Testing Program to forward aptitude test scores to Clarion.
All liberal arts applicants and education applicants who intend to
major in a foreign language must schedule an achievement test in the

student's major. It is the College Dean's responsibility to determine
whether the course will be considered as part of the major or as an
elective.
4. Credits are transferable but quality points are not transferable.
5. A student must receive at least a "C" grade or better in order to
transfer that course to Clarion.
6. All courses transferred must be recognized in content and quality as

Colleges without the Associate Degree will be processed as any other
transfer applicant.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
Students who have been graduated from high school (or equivalent)
where the language of instruction is not English, will be exempted from
any general foreign language requirement at Clarion University. Neither

38
WITHDRAWALS
All class withdrawals must be made through the Office of the
Registrar. Classes from which a student withdraws during the first two
weeks of a semester will not appear on his/her record. Withdrawals
between the end of the second and ninth weeks may be made without
penalty. After the beginning of the tenth week of a semester or the
second half of a summer session, a course from which a student
withdraws shall be finally reported with a grade of "E " Exceptions may
be made for withdrawals due to extenuating circumstances such as
illness or some other unavoidable occurrence.
If a student is on probation at the time of withdrawal from all classes
and the withdrawal is after the twelth week of the semester, he/she will
not be permitted to return for the following semester unless the
withdrawal is based on extenuating circumstances.
If a withdrawal is not made through the Office of the Registrar, a failing
grade will be recorded for the affected course(s).
Any student who withdraws from the university either during or at the
end of the semester must notify the Office of the Registrar of his/her
intention to withdraw and the reason for withdrawal. This is necessary
for completion of the student's permanent record. Failure to comply with
this regulation will constitute an unofficial withdrawal and may affect the
student's chances of future readmission or his/her obtaining an
honorable dismissal.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Student progress is normally reported once each semester. Attheend
of the first six weeks, each staff member submits to the Office of the
Registrar a report of all freshman students doing unsatisfactory work in
their classes. These reports are recorded and then passed on to the
students.
GENERAL POLICIES
Scholarship policy at Clarion University is formulated by the Sub-
committee on Academic Standards, which is a sub-committee of the
Faculty Senate.
Scholastic standing of students is determined on the basisof aquality
point system in which agradeof "A "equals 4 quality points per semester
hour; "B" equals 3: 'C" equals 2: "D" equals 1: and "E" equals 0. The
number of quality points earned in a single course for one semester is
determined by multiplying the quality point value of the course grade by
the number of semester hours in the course; thus, a grade of "A" in a
39
three semester hour course has a quality point value of 12. A student's
quality point average at any specific time is determined by dividing the
total number of quality points earned in all courses bythetotal numberof
semester hours of credit attempted. For exam pie, if a student earns a total
of 30 quality points from 15 semester hours of course work in a single
semester, his/her quality point average for the semester is 2.00.
At the end of each semester, a student's quality point average is
calculated for that semester and also for all the course v\/ork he/she has
taken up to and including the semester just completed. The latter is
known as the cumulative quality point average.
Scholarship policy for two year programs requires that a student earn
a minimum quality point average of 1.75 his/ her first semester and a 2.00
his/her second semester and thereafter in order to be in satisfactory
academic standing. His/her cumulative quality point average should be
2.00 by the end of the second semester.
In order to remain in the Medical Technology Progam, students must
maintain the following grade pomtaverage: firstsemesterfreshmen,2.0:
second semester freshmen and first semester sophomores, 2.5:
thereafter 2.75 with a 2.75 in the natural sciences. Exceptions to these
requirements must be approved by the Coordinator of Medical
Technology.
Admisssion to the Medical Technology Program at the university does
not guarantee admission to the year in the hospital laboratory. Hospital
spaces are limited and admissions standards, which are under the
control of the individual hosptials, are quite high.
Business students pursuing the BSBA who enter the College or
University in the summer or fall of 1982 (or afterward) must apply for
admission to the Colleges Upper Division. Students should apply after
they have completed 50 semester hours of work and have met certain
other Upper Division requirements. In addition, businessadministration
students must meet graduation standards beyond general University
requirements. These academic standards are fully described under the
"College of Business Administration " entry later in this catalog.

Inc (incomplete) is not used unless a student has been in attendance
through a semester or session. It indicates that the work of a student is
incomplete and that the final grade is being withheld until the student
fulfills all the requirements of the course. It is used only when conditions
and circumstances warrant and when evidence is presented to justify its

Credit - No Record course changed from "CR" to a letter grade, he/she
must retake the course. Credit - No Record courses are counted in
determining the course load for a semester.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
A student must present a minimum cumulative quality point average
(QPA) of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale except in Colleges where the stated QPA
requirements are higher. Beginning with enrollments for the summer or
fall of 1982. a student must also present a minimumQPAof 2.00on a4.00
scale in the major. Major courses are all those courses in Group II and III
on the check sheet. All candidates for undergraduate degrees must have
a minimum of 128 semester hours of credit (Music Education requires
130-131), and must have met all the general education requirement in
English 111 with a "C" or better in order to qualify for graduation.
For the Associate Science degree, the student must have a cumulative
quality point average of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale, and beginning with the
summer or fall of 1982. a student must also present a minimum of 2.00 on
a 4.00 scale in the major. All AS graduates must have a minimum of 62
semester hours of credit to qualify for graduation.

CLASS STANDINGS
Class standings (freshmen, sophomores, etc.) are determined by
credits earned rather than by semesters of residence: Freshmen. 1-31
credits: Sophomores, 32-63 credits: Juniors. 64-95 credits: Seniors, 96-
128- credits.
GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING
To be in good academic standing at Clarion, undergraduate students
must maintain a minimum quality point average of 2. 00 for both semester
and cumulative averages. Individual programs may have higher
requirements.
43
STUDENT TESTING PROGRAM
All new freshmen and transfer students are required to participate in
the University testing program to measure the degree of growth among
its degree seeking students. A post-test will be required in order to
measure progress.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS TOWARD A DEGREE
In order to continue to receive any Title IV assistance, a full time
student must be maintaining "satisfactory progress" (also referred to as
"normal progress") in his or her course of study. Section 497(e) of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires an institution of
postsecondary education to have standards of satisfactory progress. If
an institution or school does not have any standards, it can neither
commit nor disburse any Title IV assistance to its students because it has
no means of complying with the statute.
The requirement that a full time student be making satisfactory or
normal progress should not be confused with the good academic
standing requirement. A conceptual difference exists between the two.
Good academic standing means that a full time student is allowed by the
institution to continue in enrollment. Satisfactory or normal academic
progress means that the regular student is proceeding in a positive
manner toward fulfilling degree or certificate requirements in his or her
course of study.
A full time student must be certified by the institution as making
normal progress before receiving any additional Title IV assistance,
including GSL checks. This certification must be completed at least
annually under current federal regulations.
Under the guidelines governing the PHEAA grant program and all Title
IV assistance programs, a student must satisfactorily complete 24 new
credit hours every two semesters, including summer, to maintain
eligibility. Part-time students must satisfactorily complete 12 credit
hours per year, including summer, to maintain eligibility for some federal
programs.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
To be in good academic standing, undergraduate students must
maintain a minimum quality point average of 2.00 for both semester and
cumulative averages.
Students falling below the 2.00 standard in either the semester or
cumulative average will be placed on academic probation effective the
next semester of attendance.
Sophomore, junior, and senior students with a cumulative average
lower than 2.00 who fail to achieve at least a 2.00 semester average while
on probation will be suspended.
Second semester freshmen on probation who fail to achieve at least a
1.75 cumulative or a 2.00 semester average will be suspended.
44
ACADEMIC SUSPENSION
Students on probation who fail to achieve good academic standing
will be suspended. Most, but notall, suspensions become effective at
the end of the spring semester. Students who are placed on
probation or suspension are informed by letter, a copy of which is
sent to the student's parent or guardian if the student is a dependent
as defined elsewhere in this catalog.
Students notified of academic suspension have the following
alternatives:
a. The student may apply for readmission to Clarion after an
absence of one or more semesters provided the suspension was
the student's first.
b. The student may attend summer sessions at Clarion. If the
student earns the required cumulative average by the end of the
summer, the suspension will be rescinded and the student will be
continued on probationary status for the fall semester.
c. The student may appeal the suspension, in writing, to the
Academic Standards Committee if the poor academic
performance was caused by unusual circumstances beyond the
student's control or if for other reasons it is not indicative of
future performance. Such petitions should be filed with the
committee through the Office of the Registrar before January 5
for spring semester and August 15 for fall semesterenrollments.
The format of the appeal should follow the guidelines given
under READMISSION below.
Suspended students are permitted to take 6 credits at another
accredited institution after consulting with their dean. Clarion
permits transfer of these credits provided the credits are applicable
to the student's program andagradeof Cor better is earned. Clarion
accepts credits and grades from accredited institutions, but quality
points do not transfer.
READMISSION
The student appealing an academic suspension or applying for
readmission after an academic suspension must apply in writing to the
Office of the Registrar. Deadlines are August 15 to enroll for the fall
semester and January 5 to enroll for the spring semester. Students
readmitted following academic suspension are on probationary status
for at least the semester of their readmission regardless of their
academic performance during any interim summer periods.
Use the following guidelines when writing the petition. If possible,
include independent documentation and/or references in the petition.
1 . A statement indicating why the academic performance was so poor.
45
A statement indicating how the student expects to improve his/her
academic performance and how he/she intends to correct the
problem as stated in item 1.
If possible, a statement concerning the projected course of study, if a
change of majors is planned.
If a student is returning to school after a suspension, he/she should
indicate what he/she has been doing since he/she last attended
Clarion.
Any other statements and supporting evidence thought helpful to
the committee in deciding the petition.
MAXIMUM CREDIT HOUR LOAD
The normal credit hour load for undergraduate students in good
academic standing is 15 to 18 credit hours per semester and 6 to 7 credit
hours per five-week summer session. Students on academic probation
should not attempt more than 12 to 15 credit hours per semester.
Students wishing to register for 19 to 21 credit hours during any one
semester or more than 7 credit hours for a five-week summer session
must have a cumulative quality point average of 3.00 or better or the
written permission of the appropriate college dean. Students are
required to pay for each credit over 18.
All scholastic standards noted above are subject to change by the
university.
REPEAT GRADE POLICY
The student shall be permitted to repeat any and all courses as often as
he/she chooses.
The latest repeat grade shall be the counting grade in the quality point
average.
HONORS
Academic honors are recognized with a semester Dean's List and with
the traditional honors designations of Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude,
and Summa Cum Laude at graduation.
To be included on the semester Dean's List, the student must be
enrolled for a minimum of 12 credits not including credits by proficiency
examinations, and achieve a semester QPAof at Ieasta3.50. Cum Laude
46
honors are awarded for a cumulative quality point average of 3 4 to 3 6:
f\/lagna Cum Laude for 3 6 to3.8; and Summa Cum Laudefor3 8to4 0 In
order to earn graduation honors, a student must have earned at least 32
credits at Clarion.
For information concerning honorary kinds of recognition that may be
accorded by various colleges and departments, the student should
inquire at the office of his/her major department and/or the office of the
dean of the college in which he/she is enrolled.
HONORS PROGRAM
The Clarion University Honors Program is designed for students

chosen for the program based on eligibility criteria as established by the
Program and the U.S. Department of Education.
MINORITY CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Dr. Malik Simba, Coordinator
136 Davis Hall
The Minority Curriculum Development Program is based on the
philosophy that we live in a multicultural world which must be reflected
in the University curricula. It emphasizes three objectives: (1) to infuse
the minority experience into the regular curriculum as opposed to
offering it as appendage material: (2) to expose students to the
multidimensional challenges that intergroup relations present, by both
expanding the students' knowledge base and by causing them to
reassess their values: and (3) to develop educational outcomes within
disciplines or professions that measure the students' ability to
understand and/or apply relevant information that infuses the minority
experience.
The Coordinator provides technical assistance to selected academic
departments in the identification of appropriate courses and resources
for the infusion of the Black experience in the curriculum. The
coordinator also provides bibliographies and teaching strategies which
include, but are not limited to, textbook suggestions, case studies,
biographies, and specific articles which will support the infusion model.

or proof of intention to become a citizen or must have been
admitted to the United States on an Immigrant Visa.

guardian, as is a student who is claimed as a dependent on the
parent(s) federal income tax return.

Pennsylvania immediately preceding entry into government
service and who has continuously maintained Pennsylvaniaasa
legal residence, will be presumed to have a Pennsylvania
domicile.
5. A student receiving a scholarship or grant dependent upon
domicile in a state other than Pennsylvania is not
domiciled in Pennsylvania.
Examples of factors which may provide convincing documentary
evidence include purchase or lease of a permanent independent
residence, payment of appropriate stateand local taxes, transfer of bank
accounts, stock, automobile, and other registered property to
Pennsylvania, driver's license, agreement for permanent full time
employment, membership in organizations, voter's registration,
statement of intention to reside indefinitely in Pennsylvania, statement

CONDITIONS WHICH ACCOMPANY FINANCIAL AID
In order to continue receiving financial aid following initial enrollment
at Clarion University of Pennsylvania, students must meet certain
conditions each year. They must be enrolled for at least half-time and
must reapply for a id each year using the appropriate forms as mentioned
above. Baccalaureate students may receive assistance from most
federal, Title IV, and state aid programs for each of their undergraduate
years providing they maintain "normal academic progress." This means
that undergraduate students must successfully complete a minimum of
24 semester hours by the end of each academic year, including summer,
before they can be granted assistance for their next school year.
Part-time undergraduate students must successfully complete a
minimum of 12 semester hours during each academic year, including
summer, to continue receiving any financial assistance.
Graduate students must successfully complete 18 semester hours by
the end of each academic year, including summer, before they can be
granted assistance for their next school year.
Part-time graduate students must successfully complete 9 semester
hours during each academic year, including summer, to continue
receiving any financial assistance.
For financial aid purposes an undergraduate student becomes a
sophomore with 24 credits, ajunior with 48, and a senior with 72. These
credit levels for class standing apply to financial aid only and not to other
academic considerations. Students should also understand that
completing 24 semester hours per year will not qualify them for
graduation in four years but rather in 11 semesters. Providing that a
student has a 2.0 QPA or is officially permitted to attend Clarion, he/she
may continue to receive financial assistance as long as the 24 semester
hour progress requirement is met.
APPEAL PROCEDURE
A student denied financial aid for any reason may appeal thedenial as
follows:
1. Write to the Office of Financial Aid, Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, Clarion, PA 16214, noting the denial and stating the
65
reasons why financial aid should not be denied: Example A student
may be denied aid because it appears he/she has fewer than 24
credits for the year. Perhaps during the summer at another
institution the student has earned, for transfer to Clarion, credits
which fulfill the normal progress requirement but about which the
University has not been informed The student may present the
appeal in person at the Office of Financial Aid in Egbert Hall instead
of writing.
2. The Office of Financial Aid will review the denial in terms of
information provided by the student.
3. Following the review the Office of Financial Aid will report back to
the student concerning the appeal.
4. If the student questions the decision of the Office of Financial Aid
an appeal may be made to the Vice President for Student Affairs for
a final determination.
REFUND POLICY
Students receiving financial assistance from Clarion University are
subject to the same refund policies as those who are not aid recipients. It
shoud be noted that using any part of a student's financial assistance for
a portion of a semester is considered as using that entire semester award
for eligibility purposes, i.e. withdrawalafter2 weeks of classes will entitle
the student to an 80% refund and will utilize 20% of assistance; however,
one semester of eligibility in those aid programs has been used. This
may effect a student's academic progress eligibility for the following
semester.

UNIVERSITY CURRICULA
All undergraduate curricula, with the exception of the two-year
Associate of Science curriculum in Nursing and Associate of Science
Degrees, lead to a bachelor's degree and have a common area of 48
semester hours in general education. Each student should select his
general education program carefully in consultation with his faculty

GENERAL EDUCATION
DISTRIBUTION
Goals and Purposes
A university education as conceived by the faculty at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania consists of both professional and general
education. Professional education is the specialized education and
training which aims to prepare a student to earn a living in a particular
vocation, profession, discipline, or area of study.
General education is an essential complement to professional
education and aims to assist the student's general development as a
person and as a citizen through what is generally a liberal arts
curriculum. The general education program seeks to avoid the
narrowness resulting from highly-structured professional programs by
assuming that every student has the opportunity to develop an
understanding and appreciation of the intellectual, cultural, and moral
forces which have shaped our world, and to provide the basic knowledge
and skills that will allow them to enjoy a fuller life.
The breadth of the general education concept requires a broad,
coordinated program for its implementation. Students should be free to
select, in consultation with theiracademic advisors, a general education
program which meets their personal needs in attaining the general
education goals. Students should recognize thatcertain courses may be
more complementary to given professional programs than others. The
sum of the general education program selected should be directed
toward the student's understanding and appreciation of, and ability to
respond articulately to, the following general education areas and area
goals:
I. Modes of communication: To develop the academic knowledge
and ability to communicate personal ideas and philosophy.
II. The Natural World in Scientific Perspective: To show the use
of and to provide an appreciation of the scientific method for
87
inquiry and measurement so that the student may impart
scientific facts and principles pertaining to the physical and
biological world.
The Human World in Scientific Perspective: To provide a broad
understanding of man's social institutions, enabling the student
to make intelligent decisions and develop programs in matters
of social policy.
Interpreting Human Existence: To expand the student's
understanding and appreciation of the arts: to aid the student
in developing a perspective on the past: and to help the student
formulate a satisfying personal philosophy.
Personal Development and Life Skills: To learn and develop
those personal activities and life skills that will lead to a full
and self-satisfying life.

MUSIC, B.M. Performance
The primary emphasis of the Bachelor of Music degree in
Performance is on the development of the skills, concepts, and
sensitivity essential to the professional life of a performing musician.
As a performer, composer, scholar, or teacher the professional
musician must exhibit technical competence, a broad knowledge of
music and music literature, sensitivity to musical style, and insight
regarding the role of music in the life of man. Evidence of these musical
aspects and their continuing development is the objective of the
Bachelor of Music degree program.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL STUDIES IN ENGINEERING
Since curricular requirements vary among engineering schools and
fields of specialization, students planning to transfer to a school of
engineering must give careful consideration to the requirements of the
institutions to which they intend to apply and, with the exception of
those in the Cooperative Engineering Program, q.v., should plan to
transfer no later than at the completion of their sophomore year. The
107
following courses should be included in their programs at Clarion:
MATH 270, 271, 272, 350, 270: CHEM 151, 152, 161,162: PH 258/268 and

chiropractic, or veterinary medicine, areadvised by the Pre-Professional
Committee. While a student may choose any academic major, he/she
must complete sufficient course work in the sciences, mathematics, and
liberal arts to meet admission requirements established by the
professional schools. In addition to academic requirements many
professional schools expect applicants to have engaged in specific
kinds of services related to the profession and to be able to demonstrate
a knowledge of the profession through these services. Students must
also take an admissions examination designed by the professional
association to assist admissions committees in evaluating the
applicant's preparation for that profession Such examinations (MCAT,
DAT, GRE, etc.) are normally taken near the end of thejunioryearorthe
beginning of the senior year at Clarion.
Since the following courses are usually required by professional
schools, it is recommended that students complete the following work at
Clarion:
BIOL 153 Intro, to Animal Biol BIOL 451: Animal Phys'Ology
CHEM 153/163: General Chemistry I CHEM 154 164 General Chemistry II

MATH 270 Calc. w/Anal. Geom I ENG 200 Composition & Lit
ENG 111 English Composition OR
ENG 201 Advanced Composition
108
The student must also complete the requirements for an academic
major within a specific department. If the student chooses to major in
one of the sciences, the above courses may be included in the major.
Requirements for admission to specific professional schools vary
slightly; thus, the student must determine such requirements through
the Pre-Professional Committee.
Admission requirements for the professional schools are high and
competition is intense. Students usually should have high school SAT
scores of 1000 or better and high school grade average of 3.5 with
emphasis in the sciences, mathematics, and English before starting a
pre-professional program. To remain in the program, the student should
maintain an academic standing appropriate to admission requirements
for his or her particular professional school.
The Pre-Professional Committee will assist students in arranging to
take admissions examinations and preparing admissions materials. For
information send inquiriesto Dr. Paul E. Beck, Department of Chemistry,
Chairperson, Pre-Professional Committee.
To insure proper advisement, students must contact the Pre-
Professional Committee at once.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL STUDIES IN PHARMACY
It is possible fora student to transfer to a school of pharmacy afterthe
completion of either the freshman or sophomore year. In either case,
he/she should carefully check the requirements of the school he/she
wishes to enter. If the student plans two years of pre-pharmacy study at
Clarion, he/she should include the following courses in his program:
BIOL 153, 154; CHEM 153. 154. 163, 164. 251, 252; MATH 270; PH 251 and
252. Interested students should contact the pre-pharmacy advisor. Dr.

13
from enrolling in a structured program through which they can explore a
number of disciplines. The program is also intended for students who
wish to develop a highly individualized program and follow it through to
graduation because their interests are not accommodated by the
established curricula and majors. However, it is not necessary for
students who enter the university undecided about a major to continue
in General Studies through graduation Many students who come to the
university and enter this program will develop interests that will lead
them to declare a specific major.

Admission requirements for the B.S. in General Studies are the same as
those for admission to the university.
The degree is based upon the standard eight-semester sequence of
courses and requires a minimum of 128 semester hours of credit for
graduation.
A candidate for the B.S. in General Studies may not declare a specific
major field. Students who decide upon a major field may not remain in
the program but must transfer to the college and department offering a
program encompassing the major.
Students may transfer from other areas into the General Studies
program, but those who wish to transfer in must have at least two
semesters of full time study remaining prior to graduation.
Academic standards for good standing in the program are the same as
the university standards for good standing.
To earn the B.S. in General Studies the student must have a minimum
cumulative quality point average of 2.00 for all course work.
Specific Requirements
General education is as required by the university (48 s h.)
A sufficient number of Arts and Sciences courses in addition to general
education courses is required for the program (51 s.h.)
Maximum course work in a single discipline (in addition to general
education above) is limited (39 s.h.).
A sufficient number of upper division courses, normally at the 300 level

COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
Marguerite H. VanLandingham, Ph.D., Dean
Office: Still Hall
Telephone extension: 2600
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The College of Business Administration offers curricula leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, the Master of
Business Administration and the Associate of Science Degree in
Business Adminisration. The description below is concerned mainly
with the undergraduate curriculum. For full information concerning the
MBA program, refer to the The Graduate Studies bulletin and the Master
of Business Administration bulletin, which may be obtained from the
College of Business Administration, Clarion University, Clarion. PA
16214. The description of the Associate of Science degree program is
found on pages 190-194.
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Business Administration is designed to assist students in arriving at a
better understanding of the complex relationships inherent in the rapidly
changing domestic and international world of business, industry, and
government; to provide educational experience that will help students
develop their potential for leadership and service; to stimulate the
growth of students as individuals and citizens; and to provide a
qualitative environment in which educational enrichment can take place.
Supplemented by broad general requirements in the humanities, the
social sciences, and the natural sciences, the businesscurriculum offers
a well balanced program of courses in business administration and
economics which will not only help prepare students for careers in
business, industry, and government, but will also give preparatory
training to students who plan to further their education through
graduate study in business, economics, or law.
Although there is opportunity to develop depth in certain areas, i.e.,
accountancy, economics, finance, industrial relations, manageme^nt,
management/library science, marketing, office management, and real
estate, emphasis in the program is not on deep specialization but rather
on the development of analytical ability, intellectual toughness,
imagination, the ability to communicate ideas, and adaptability so that
technological change does not render the education obsolete.
115
ACADEMIC STANDARDS

The Department of Communication offers a broadly-based program
leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Communication. It is
interdisciplinary in nature, requiring courses from English, Speech
Communication, Business, Philosophy, and the Department of
Communication.
The program is designed to develop the student's ability to write and
speak effectively, and to use other media -- radio, television, film,
photography, and the print media -- for specific purposes. Required
courses in business, computer science, and logic provide a basic
understanding of organizational behavior and skills necessary to
function effectively in a variety of organizations. Electives may be
selected from any academic area of the university. If desired, they may
be concentrated to provide additional training for specific career goals.
Graduates have assumed positions in business, industry,
governmental agencies and non-profit organizations in public relations,
advertising, radio and television broadcasting, employee training and
publication functions.
Students majoring in Communication must complete 48 credits in
General Education, which includes Modes of Communication, Natural
Science and Mathematics, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Personal
Development and Life Skills. In addition to general education, major,
and elective course requirements, students are required to participate a

Computer Center
The Department of Computer Information Science offers two
concentrations leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer
Science. One of these is the concentration in Computer A pplicat ion and
Information Systems. It prepares students for careers in application
programming and system analysis. Major emphasis is placed on the
COBOL programming language and on the principles necessary for
computer usage in commercial, industrial, and governmental
environments. One hundred and thirty-two semester hours of credit are
required for completion of this concentration.
The other concentration is a Computer Science curriculum preparing
students for careers in systems programming, computer systems
analysis, and computer system management. It places heavy emphasis
on mathematical foundations of computation and principles of data
organization and computer system software. The concentration in
Computer Science requires one hundred and twenty-eight semester
hours of credit.
Students in both concentrations are strongly encouraged to enroll in
computer course work outside their major area. The Department's
emphasis is on practical computer application and the programs of
study are designed with this as a primary goal.
132
Clarion University of Pennsylvania is unique among the fourteen state
institutions in terms of thedepth and diversityof itscomputingfacilities.
The Still Business Administration Building houses the main campus
computing systems, ONE VAX 1 1-780 administrative system and a VAX
1 1 -785 which is totally dedicated to academic usage. Access facilities to
the academic system are maintained in Still Hall, in Pierce Hall, and in
Becker Hall. Becker Hall, where the classrooms and offices of the
Department of Computer Information Science are located, houses a
substantial number of terminals and a six hundred line per minute
printer, all connected to the academic system. In addition, two
minicomputers utilizing a full Unix operating system and providing
interactive terminal access for more than forty users are available for
student usage in Becker Hall. More than 20 microcomputer systems are
also located in the Becker Hall laboratory. Most of these are IBM PCsand
are equipped with dual disk drives, printers and current productivity
software including WORDSTAR, LOTUS 1,2,3 AND R:BASE 5000.
Clarion is committed to providing these computer resources required to
support the computing program. All major programming languages are
available on the University's systems.
Experience has shown that communication and mathematical skills
are fundamental to professional success in computer related areas. The
Department feels that SAT scores can be a valuable tool in predicting
successful acquisition of these skills. Although the CIS Department
accepts all students admitted to Clarion University, it is highly
recommended that students considering the C.A.I.S. concentration
have achieved SAT scores of at least 480 verbal and 450 in mathematics.
Similarly, it is recommended that students concentrating in Computer
Science should have achieved minimal scores of 450 verbal and 500
mathematics.
The CIS Department subscribes totally to the Students' Rights and
Regulations handbook of Clarion University. Specifically, the
Department maintains a document describing its interpretation of the
handbook's statements concerning academic dishonesty and misuse of
authorized identification as they relate to computer usage. This
document is posted in the academic access areas and it is expected that
all students utilizing campus computing facilities will be familiar with it.

DEPARTMENT OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
Louis E. Gurecka, M.S., Chair
Professors: Huwar, Kern, Schreffler, Shirey, Vayda; Associate
Professors: Dunkle; Assistant Professors: Gurecka, K. Smith: Part-Time
Instructor: Rexford
The Special Education curriculum is a competency-based program
which has identified specific professional competencies regarded as
essential for performance as a diagnostic/prescriptive teacher of
children who have special needs. Some of these competencies are
acquired through the use of instructional modules which detail the
objective(s) to be achieved and identify the instructional materials and
processes which the student may employ. The instructional modules are
in the form of learning packets, or self-directed study guides, which the
student may use independent of the university instructor and/or
classroom. They have the characteristics of individualization, making it
possible for students to proceed at their own pace according to
individual abilities and initiative.
Human relations skills-training is presented through a series of
sensitizing exercises which focus upon fundamental social interactions
among teachers, students, administrators, and parents. These crucial
teaching attitudes and behavioral skills are deliberately planned instead
of being left to chance.
Training in the clinical skills of diagnosis of learning difficulties in
children is conducted with individuals who come to the Special
Education Department's educational appraisal clinic for intensive study.
Prior to such specialized training, studentsengage in a wide spectrum of
field experiences, observing and interacting with exceptional children in
school and community program settings.
Student teaching, which may be done in a team setting, is the
culminating field experience and is conducted during the senior year. All
student teachers will have at least two varied experiences, either with
two types of exceptionalities, or with one regular elementary class and
one special education setting.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION/SPECIAL EDUCATION
With careful planning, students can complete programs leading to
certification in both special education and elementary education in 9
semesters or 4 years and a summer, thereby becoming eligible to teach
in both regular and special classrooms. The dual certification will also
help students to meet the challenges of mainstreaming. In addition,
several states are now requiring dual certification to teach handicapped
individuals.
DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH PATHOLOGY
AND AUDIOLOGY
R. Dennis Hetrick, Chair
Professors: Dininny, Hartley, Hetrick: Associate Professors: Keenan,
McAleer, Smith; Assistant Professor: Simpson
This program, leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech
Pathology and Audiology, is designed to prepare students to function
with children and adults in school and non-school settings as speech
and hearing professionals. Since full professional status requires
certification by the American Speech Language and Hearing
Association, the program has been designed to provide not only
entering competence but a thorough foundation for advanced study,
with students selecting either a speech and hearing science or clinical
track option. Furthermore, the department has an articulation
agreement with Gallaudet College wherein interested majors may study
for a semester at Gallaudet College and transferall earned credits back
to Clarion University. A deaf education concentration is also available
for those who seek that career opportunity.
In addition to the undergraduate program the Department offers a
graduate degree program in Speech Pathology and Audiology.

refer to the Graduate School bulletin.
CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The major thrust of continuing education is to organize and make
available to the community the vast resource of instructional talent that
resides in the area. Educational programming of all types, presented in
almost any format, and developed to meet the needs of a wide variety of
audiences, is possible through continuing education.
Generally continuing education activities will fall into one of three
program types: non-credit courses, open to the general public without
regard to educational backgrounds: credit courses offered to meet
professional needs: and conferences, a concentrated experiene
developed for a specific group.
Non-credit courses, as the name implies, do not carry academic credit.
do not require admission to the university, do not have examinations or
grades. They are mostly conducted on a basic level, thus allowing
177
everyone the opportunity for personal growth. Reasons for pursuing
non-credit courses could be for gaining job skills, personal
development, intellectual enrichment or just plain fun.
The fee for each non-credit course is determined largely by the costs
involved in presenting the course. This requires that a minimum
enrollment be achieved in order for a course to proceed.
Records of each student's participation in non-credit classes will be
maintained. The Continuing Education Unit, C.E.U., will be awarded
upon successful completion of a course. One C.E.U. represents 10 hours
of instruction.
Continuing education programs providing academic credit are
generally offered to meet an in-service or professional development
educational need of a specific professional group.
Conference activity at Clarion University of Pennsylvania will be
aimed at bringing to the campus various occupational, business,
fraternal, labor, and professional groups for concentrated day-long,
week-long educational activities. The extent to which Clarion faculty is
involved in the instructional component will vary with each conference.
The Evening University is offered in cooperation with the Colleges of
Business Administration and Arts and Sciences. This program,
addressed mainly to the adult, provides the means to earn a
baccalaureate degree while attending class only after5:00 p.m. Possible
majors are Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a
concentration in Real Estate: and Bachelorof Science Degree in General
Studies. The College of Continuing Education provides the means of
admission and class registration.
As the educational needs of the area become more apparent through
observation, suggestion, and assessment, the College of Continuing
Education, in cooperation with the various academic units across the
campus, will develop and offer programs intended to meet those needs.
A class can take place at any time, at any place, and deal with almost any
subject.

Professors: Gamaluddin, Vavrek: Associate Professors: Economous,
Head, Jetter; Assistant Professors: Karp
On December 3, 1937, the State Council of Education approved a
curriculum for the education of school librarians at Clarion University.
Library Science courses are also offered as electives for Liberal Arts
and Business Administration students (see program description for
those degree programs).
Besides meeting state requirements for school librarianship, the
library science program at Clarion qualifies students for entry level
positions in public and special libraries.
Candidates for the B.S. degree in Education who specialize in library
science are required to complete 30 semester hours of library
science/communication courses. Upon receipt of the degree, the
graduate is recommend.ed for certification as a librarian in all grades of
the Pennsylvania public schools.
The undergraduate student begins library science courses in the first
semester of the freshman year with the course. Introduction to Media
Librarianship. A "C" average must be maintained in library
science/communication courses and a cumulative "C" average in all
courses must be earned to graduate. (Coursework morethanSyearsold
will not be acceptable in meeting certification requirements.) A student
planning eventually to work for a master's degree in library science may
need a reading knowledge of a modern foreign language and may,
therefore, wish to take one of these languages as an undergraduate. It is
also advisable to take one or more courses in computer information
science.
Before being assigned to student teaching, all students specializing in
library science must have completed the thirty hours required for the
specialization.
The student will find information on scholarship requirements for
Teacher Education students on pages 135-136.
A total of 128 semester hours must be completed for the B.S. in
Education.

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
College Deans
Co-op study is a general term applied to voluntary, service, part-time
and full-time employment, and internship experiences.
Co-op courses (300 level) are based upon job assignments which are
related to the student's university major or career objectives and which
provide learning experiences as stated in their respective learning
objectives. Faculty coordinators from academic departments advise
students, review learning objectives, and term reports.
Cooperative education procedures are sufficiently flexible to provide
for student and employer needs. The program is designed to enhance
self-realization and direction by integrating classroom study with
planned and supervised experiences in educational, professional,
business, and cultural learning situations outside the formal classroom
environment. The joint efforts of faculty, participating employers, and
students are directed toward the achievement of an educational
experience where classroom studies and appropriate work experience
combine to reinforce each other. Prerequisite: junior standing, minimum
QPA 2.5, or approval of the appropriate college dean. Offered each
semester and summer session.
An internship (400 level) is usually a culminating experience for
seniors and graduate students. An intern should have completed most of
the required courses in his/her major area of study in order to accept
professional level assignments with appropriate supervision. An intern
operates in a manner similar to that of a student teacher, with the
emphasis upon application of knowledge in a realistic setting ratherthan
acquisition of new material. In other words, an intern is a person with
most entry level skills at least partially developed. He/she is expected to
render supervised professional services. The length of an internship may
be less than a semester or as long as a year. Many internships carry no
salary or stipend.
Because internships are tailored to fit the demands of the respective
professions as well as the needs of individual students, each col lege and
department is encouraged to establish requirements and criteria for
acceptance in the program and for successful completion which go
beyond the minimal requirements established by the cooperative
education/internship program. Each college through its departments is
expected to enforce its own requirements.
Minimally, students must have senior standing and a QPA of at least
2.50 or approval of the department.
182
CREDIT HOURS for co-op/internship registration carry from 1 to 12
credits as arranged. Any combination of co-op/internship credits earned
in excess of 12 semester hours cumulative total will be entered on
student records, but will not be counted as credits required for
graduation.
GRADING of co-op/internship experiences will carry "Credit/No
Record" evaluation of work performance. Individual students may
petition to receive a letter grade at the time of registration. This policy
does not apply to the Credit/No Record regulation promulgated as part
of the university grading system.

DIVISION OF NURSING
T. Audean Duespohl, M.S.M., M.Ed., Director
PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the Clarion University Nursing Division is
consistent with the philosophy of Clarion Univeristy in establishing as
the Division's primary goal the provision of educational experiences
designed to promote scientific inquiry, creative thinking, critical
judgment, and self-evaluation. The student's nursing education is
complemented by such curriculum offerings as humanities, natural
sciences, behavioral sciences, and free electives. The programs are
based on the concept of continued self-development so that graduates
will aspire to improve and expand their competencies on a continuing
basis after graduation.
Nursing is a profession concerned with the delivery of care to
individuals and groups of individuals who desire assistance with health
maintenance during their life processes. The nursing process is the
basis for communication between the nurse, client, and family who
collaborate to achieve maximum health potential. This process includes
health teaching by the nurse for the purpose of establishing and
maintaining a high level of well-being.
Man is a unified whole who continually interrelates with his
environment. Man as a sensing, thinking being makes conscious
choices and assumes responsibility for the consequences. Given
freedom of choice, man will make decisions regarding his health care
needs according to his priorities. He possesses and manifests traits that
are greater than but different from the sum of all his parts. Man's family is
made up of significant others within his framework of life.
Health, as defined by the client, is the primary focus of nursing care. It
IS a dynamic, ever-changing state based on man's ability to maintain his
optimum level of wellness. A client's concept of health-illness is derived
from patterns he has formulated based on his personal experiences.
Man, as an expert on himself, assumes responsibility for seeking
assistance throughout the health-illnesscontinuum. Therefore, hemust
be consulted concerning his own health goals and participate actively in
his health care.
Society is a dynamic organization which is composed of individuals,
families, and communities. Societal roles and trends interrelate with
man's experience to direct his behavioral patterns and life goals. This
interaction is demonstrated by man's practicing of health maintenance
and striving for well-being.
202
Education is a dynamic activity which involves the teaching-learning
process. Teaching is an organized activity that facilitates learning and is
accomplished by the active sharing of attitudes, skills, and knowledge.
Learning requires mental activity and is enhanced by a climate which
takes into consideration the learner's previous educational and life
experience.
Learning is a self-directed activity requiring motivation, desire, and
effort by the learner, and the learner's response to the process is unique
to that individual.
The Nursing Faculty endorses two levels to nursing practice — the
technical and the professional ~ and conceptualizes the nursing
profession as follows:
The first level of nursing is provided by the technical nurse who is
educated in associate degree nursing programs and the second level
by the professional nurse prepared in baccalaureate and post-
baccalaureate programs. The nursing care provided by the associate
degree nurse demonstrates a high degree of technical skill based
upon principles from an ever-expanding body of science. The
associate degree nurse works directly under the supervision of the
professional nurse, performing those skills necessary to carry out the
prescribed nursing care plan and the medical regimen. The
professional nurse, although proficient in technical skills, assumes
primary responsibility for the nursing care of individuals and groups,
coordinates the health team as it assists the client with his goals,
serves as a resource person for all persons giving direct client care,
and engages in research to evolve nursing theory.
DIVISION OF NURSING POLICIES
Academic Requirements in Nursing
The academic requirements of the university apply to all progams in
the Division of Nursing, but in addition the student must earn grades of at
least C in the theory and PASS in clinical practice in each of the following
nursing courses: NURS 101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 361, 462, 463, and 464.
All the nursing courses listed above entail (a) theory and (b) clinical
practice. The student receives two grades in each course. The theory
area of all nursing courses is graded on the conventional A-B-C-D-E
scale with any mark below C indicating failing achievement. Students
will be graded in theory according to the following:
GRADING SCALE
93-100
A
84-92
B
75-83
C
74-66
D
65-below
E
203
The clinical practice experience is graded Pass/Fail instead of being
awarded a letter grade. The associate degree student is evaluated by
four critical elements which must be met in order to receive a passing
grade in the clinical area. The baccalaureate degree student is evaluated
by an evaluation tool based on program and course objectives.
An unsatisfactory grade in either the theory or the clinical practice
experience or both areas of any of the nursing courses listed in this
section is regarded as a failure for the entire course and failure in the
nursing program
Transfer
The transfer policy for nursing students is consistent with that of
Clarion University.
a. Applicaton must be made directly to the Office of Admissions;
Dean of Admissions
Clarion University
Clarion, PA 16214
b. Official transcript of credits and certificates of honorable dismissal

required on all credits transferred. Transfer courses must be
comparable with those offered at Clarion Univeristy.
c. A student transferring into the Associate of Science in Nursing
Program must have a minimum of one year's residence (30
semester hours of credit) to qualify for a degree from Clarion
University. A student transferring into the Bachelor of Science in
Nursing Program must have a minimum of two years residence (45
semester hours of credit) to qualify for a degree from Clarion
Univeristy.

transferable and only if they are deemed comparable by the nursing
faculty.
Individuals transferring into the Division of Nursing Program will be
evaluated according to the follwoing criteria;
a. Personal Interview (See General Admission Interview Criteria)
b. Educational Transcript
c. Educational References
d. Competency Examination

request admission into the Associate of Science in Nursing Degree
Program by filling out a Change of Status Form and submitting to the
Division of Nursing at Venango Campus.
1. A student must have the Change of Status Form completed and
sent to the Division of Nursing by January 31, for admission to the
program in September of that year.
2. Interviews of prospective transfer students from within the
university will begin February 1.

b. Personal interview (see General Admissions Interview Criteria)
Readmission
Students who are dropped from a nursing program because of
unsatisfactory performance as noted in theGrading Policy mayapply for
readmission to the nursing program. Readmission to the nursing
program involves the professional judgment of the nursing faculty with
its recommendation based upon a majority vote of the faculty. If the
student is readmitted into the nursing program after a failure, he/she
must repeat both components of the course in which achievement was
unsatisfactory regardless of the grade in either.
It should be understood that a student dropped from the nursing
program is not by such action dropped from the university. Either
academic probation or academic suspension from the university is
based upon the failure to achieve academic standards detailed in the
university catalog. Thus, a student who is dropped from nursing for
unsatisfactory performance in nursing courses may be eligible to
transfer into another area of study.
Students who withdraw from a nursing program are notautomatically
readmitted but must be evaluated individually by the nursing faculty.
Readmission to the nursing program involves the professional judgment
of the nursing faculty with its recommendation based upon a majority
vote of the faculty.
